Thanks for the review ! How do you think for exclusively riding it in small waves ? Also would love a comparison with the SnB, i have it and love it but it just needs a bigger wave and some push, not a good board as a fat / small wave board
I guess it depends on what you consider small waves, and it depends on how you have sized it, personally Ive had two sessions on the 6’8 SnB now and it seemed to go pretty good in small waves. I.e Thigh-stomach high waves They feel pretty similar to me in terms of the small wave glide, they aren’t longboards but they go pretty good I think. What size have you got?
@@AddisonRowland oh you think the 6'8 was better than the 7 in small waves ? For me its like anything under my daily driver, also spots like longboard fat mellow waves. Ive been struggling finding a midlength that goes well in those, they always want some size to be able to move and do anything. My SnB is a 7'0. I surf mainly Indo, amd tbh it mainly works in average waves with a minimum of push, but then start being clunky in good waves so it doesnt make it that versatile. So i wanted to build a two board quiver of mids with a more hollow / bigger wave board (mid strength or mid 6) and then a small wave board
Yeah fair enough, I reckon the SnB is more of a medium wave board not really and longboard alternative. Maby you could look at something a bit longer to be ure small wave board, I had a Hayden Shapes ML glider that worked well is tiny waves, it was an 8’0 56L I have a review on it. In terms of mid-lengths designed for small waves I feel like the big names design for people who will only own one board. So they usually aren’t just for small waves. Maby the ryan lovlace FM would be interesting to check out or the V-bowls?
@@AddisonRowland yeah, I saw your hayden shape vid, was cool ! thing is i travel a lot, and after getting stuck at an airport for hours due to my boards not fitting i made a rule to myself to never carry more than 7'0 boards ever again haha and yeah you're right, most boards of big brands are defo "one board quiver " even though i tnd to find they are for the spots where the shaper lives haha. Not a huge fan of the one board quiver thing anyways, 2 board quiver just expands so much the number of spots i can surf comfortably. unless its a a shortboard, as weirdly enough, i find some shortboards way more versatile than midlengths or even longboards (loved my Pyzalien 2). but my style sucks and riding bigger boards (riding a lot of longboards too lately) really improved my flow and style, while also making me more confident in bigger waves. Trying to be proactive to not get stuck in intermediate hell haha cool footage btw, some of the spots you surf look like a lot of fun ! Also glad you're making your way back to surf after injury
Yeah, I haven't travelled on lights with bords yet but I am not keen to haha seems like a tricky scenario. I definitely found riding longer boards helped my surfing as well, still trying to find that perfect small wave mid, the Sunday might be it, haven't ridden it enough yet to say I don't think. I feel lucky to live where I do with so many different surf spots an hr or two away! Thanks so much man! Yeah the injury has sucked but through the worst of it now, so happy days
@@AddisonRowland Both were brand new. I’ve had numerous mids…The Crowd Killer, Pick Up Stick, FireWire Vacay (7’4 and 7’10), Harley Ingleby MOE, CI Mid, Seaside and Beyond (7’0 and 7,4) and some others. I have a Roger Hinds Tamago on the way at the moment I was actually one of the first people to see and buy the Sunday. I saw it at the FireWire shop before it was revealed. I was going to replace my Seaside and Beyond, but ended up getting a Sunday instead. It’s an okay board, just didn’t see it as a good paddler.
Solid review! Looking forward to part 2.
Coming soon!
Cheers, Addison. What does it weigh?
Will have to weigh it, feels very light though
@@AddisonRowland - no worries, buddy. I'll see if I can find one in the Surf Shops of El Palmar this week. Thanks again for your vids.

I had a 7’3 Sunday. I surf here in Southern California. To me it wasn’t a good paddler.
What were u comparing it to? Was it a new one?
